Measure and Mark Opening

What happens here

Begin by carefully measuring the dimensions of the mini-fridge or cooler that will be installed into the outdoor bar. Transfer these precise measurements onto the top surface of the bar where the appliance will be situated. Use a pencil or marker to clearly outline the rectangular or square opening that needs to be cut. It is critical to double-check all measurements to ensure accuracy before proceeding, taking into account any lip or flange on the appliance that might overlap the opening.

Goal: Define the exact cutting area for the appliance.
